In a major update, Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that no humanitarian aid will enter the war-torn Gaza Strip. According to Katz, "No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza," a firm policy in place since March 2 intended to prevent the aid from being used as a tool by Hamas.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned that Gaza now faces its worst humanitarian crisis in 18 months. With essential supplies like medical equipment, water, fuel, and food running dangerously low, aid workers have been forced to ration what little remains.
Following the collapse of a ceasefire initiated on January 19, renewed intense aerial and ground assaults have displaced hundreds of thousands, intensifying the dire situation for the 2.4 million residents in Gaza.
